Bolt length should be at least 25 mm plus the thickness
of the work bench.
For example, use 8mm × 50 mm bolts for a 25 mm
thick work bench.
ADJUSTING THE POWER TOOL PRIOR TO USE
CAUTION
Make all necessary adjustments before inserting the
plug in the power source.
1. Check to see that the safety cover operates smoothly.
CAUTION
This compound saw is equipped with a saw head lock
as safety device.
To lower the saw head to cut, the lock must be released
by pressing the lever with your thumb.
(1) When you push down the handle while pushing the
lever, check that the safety cover revolves smoothly
(Fig. 6).
(2) Next, check that the safety cover returns to the original
position when the handle is raised.
2. Checking the saw blade lower limit position (Fig. 7)
Check that the saw blade can be lowered 41 mm to 42
mm below the table insert.
If necessary, adjust as follows:
(1) Loosen the 8 mm lock nut on the 8 mm depth
adjustment bolt.
(2) Turn the 8 mm depth adjustment bolt as necessary to
set the lower limit position. The saw blade goes up
when the 8 mm depth adjustment bolt is turned
counterclockwise and down when it is turned
clockwise.
(3) Once the adjustment is complete, fully tighten the 8
mm lock nut.
CAUTION
Before tightening the 8 mm lock nut, confirm that the
saw blade is adjusted so that it will not contact into
the table.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
CAUTION
It is dangerous to remove or install the wrokpiece
while the saw blade is turning.
When sawing, clean off the shavings from the
turntable.
If the shavings accumulate too much, the saw blad
from the cutting material will be exposed. Never
subject your hand or anything else to go near the
exposed blade.
1. Tightly secure the material by vise assembly to be
cut so that it does not move during cutting.
2. Switch operation.
Pulling the trigger turns the switch on. Releasing the
trigger turns the switch off.
3. Cutting a groove on the table insert.
A groove has to be cut in the table insert, before
starting operation. Secure a place of wood about 40
mm wide to the turntable with the vise assembly, to
prevent the breakage of the table insert. After the
switch has been turned on and the saw blade has
reached maximum speed, slowly lower the handle to
cut a groove on the table insert.

Always firmly clamp or vise to secure the workpiece
to the fence; otherwise the workpiece might be thrust
from the table and cause bodily harm.
Always confirm that the motor head does not contact
the vise assembly when it is lowered for cutting. If
there is any danger that it may do so, loosen the 6
mm wing bolt (B) and move the vise assemlby to a
position where it will not contact the saw blade.

complete stop before preparing for the next operation.
Increased pressure on the handle does not necessarily
mean faster cutting of the workpiece. On the contrary,
too much force may result in overload of the motor
and/or decreased cutting efficiency.

Never remove the side handle; use of the tool without
it would be hazardous.
To prevent an accident or personal injury always firmly
tighten the miter handle.
Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the
0° center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45° and 60° right
and 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45° left settings.
Check that the miter angle scale and the tip of the
indicator are properly aligned.
Operation of the power tool with the miter angle scale
and indicator out of alignment, or with the miter
handle not properly tightened, will result in poor
cutting precision.
